Expand all | Collapse all

I am a lifelong Wisconsinite and have been in northwest Wisconsin for several years completing my degree at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. I am a devout Catholic and my faith is what guides my politics and decision making. I created the College Republicans chapter at UWRF and serve as its Chairman as well as serving on the Executive Board of the Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans. My efforts have been instrumental in not only getting conservative youth involved in Pierce and St. Croix County Republicans Party's but also with the Republican Party of Wisconsin as a whole. College Republicans has served as the bulwark against the work liberal ideology that plagues UW Institutions statewide. Furthermore, improving the turnout of young conservatives at the polls and preparing them to become the well-rounded statesman and politicians of the near future.
  • My faith is what defines my politics not the other way around. I am a devout Catholic and the Church guides my decisions, not any worldly party or material gains such as money. The only promise I have been running on is that my decision making will never be comprised by outside interests because my faith guides me. Unlike other politicians who make more promises than they can keep. When I go to Madison I will change Madison and Madison will not change me. An uncompromisable voting record will reflect my devotion to God. Likewise, this presents the sheer determination and passion I have to represent the people of Wisconsin. Honest politicians do not get rich and I intend to be an honest politician.
  • Secondary institutions are not preparing younger generations to become the leaders of tomorrow. As a current UW student I see it firsthand. The climate of college campuses is overwhelmingly liberal and oftentimes students leave the university with a degree that largely they will not use in their careers. Furthermore, they leave so much debt that they aren't financially secure either. Another issue is that enrollment is dropping statewide at many UW Institutions. Everything considered the current state of the UW System is troubling and without effective education it is hard to foresee how the torch can be confidently passed on to my generation. I will hold the UW System accountable.
  • I love America and more importantly the great state of Wisconsin. I want to preserve its long-lasting traditions and make Wisconsin the most attractive and prosperous state in the Midwest. I am a staunch supporter of policy that promote America First principles in accordance with President Donald Trump who has my firm support. Likewise the concern of election integrity has never been more pressing so integrity must be retained at all cost and objective rules enforced to achieve that.
Fiscal conservatism is a given for any republican candidate and that is true for myself. My passion is for social issues which is what distinguishes me from any other candidate. I am Pro-God, Pro-Family, and Pro-America. All of these principles are under attack so blatantly that our culture as a whole is under attack. The nuclear family must be retained. Christian principles must be in the forefront to guide decision making and ensure sound judgment. The woke agenda of LGBTQ indoctrination and liberal indoctrination is corrupting the youth as a whole. Children must be protected in schools from the aforementioned concerns and parents given the choice as to the choice of school their kids will attend.
An ability to lead others by example and courage to stand up for your beliefs unwaveringly in the face of opposition.
Integrity and responsibility. Anyone in public office must take their position seriously as if each and every livelihood of their constituents is depending on them. There must be a passion to serve as an elected official otherwise what is the reason to serve other than to get rich by compromising on your morals.
One that inspires other young conservative to step up.
It is not necessary because experience in politics is infinitely times less important than having a legislator who is morally upright in their decision making.
